The saga ends with the fourth and final season of this popular series, as the everyday people turned powerful heroes continue to come to grips with their supernatural abilities and the dark forces that are waged against them. Joining series regulars Ali Larter, Adrian Pasdar, Masi Oka and Hayden Panettiere for this exciting chapter are Robert Knepper ("Prison Break"), Madeline Zima ("Californication") and Ray Park (Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace).

This Emmy nominee for Best Drama follows a global group of young, everyday people who, in the midst of perfectly normal lives, awake to discover they each have special powers from stopping time to reading people's thoughts. The newly minted unlikely superheroes eventually join forces to defeat their mutual foe, who plots to steal their super-DNA and destroy the world. Hero Masi Oka earned his first Emmy nod playing a time traveler incidentally named Hiro.

After a riveting first-season cliffhanger, Season 2 of this top-rated drama finds Hiro (Masi Oka) transported to 17th-century Japan and surrounded by samurai warriors -- just in time for a solar eclipse. Can he fight his way back to the 21st century? Sure to delight fans of the series, this second batch of episodes brings an abundance of new discoveries, new villains and a new strain of emerging superheroes.

When Sgt. Nicholas Brody, an American prisoner of war, returns home after eight years of captivity, frantic CIA agent Carrie Anderson suspects the Marine of having been turned into an Al Qaeda terrorist in this espionage drama from Showtime.

The Sherlock Holmes of medicine, Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) doesn't particularly like people but greatly enjoys curing the diseases that threaten their lives. The terse, oddly misanthropic M.D. takes on a third season of medical mysteries in this Emmy-nominated hospital drama. Co-starring with Laurie are Omar Epps, Lisa Edelstein, Jennifer Morrison, Robert Sean Leonard and Jesse Spencer, with David Morse in an Emmy-nominated guest spot.

In the fourth season of this Emmy-nominated drama, the always-cranky House (Hugh Laurie) deals with the departure of his entire diagnostic team by hiring 40 new doctors and forcing them to compete in "Survivor"-like fashion for permanent positions on his staff. While firing unqualified candidates left and right, House uses his remarkable medical deduction skills to solve the ailments of his patients, including a female race car driver.

When his best friend (Jason Segel) announces he's engaged, single guy Ted (Josh Radnor) throws his search for a soul mate into high gear. Via flashback, he recounts to his kids 25 years later the often-hilarious story of how he met -- and eventually married -- their mother. Neil Patrick Harris (in a Golden Globe-nominated turn) co-stars as Ted's barhopping buddy, Barney, in this hit sitcom that earned multiple Emmys for its art direction.

How I Met Your Mother" is a well-executed sitcom. However, where Season 1 mostly just cashed in on the (admittedly enjoyable) genre cliches and easy laughs, Season 2 finally puts some substance into the characters, particularly Barney, who spent Season 1 filling the "quirky friend" role. Neil Patrick Harris never slacks in hilarity and yet somehow makes Barney's surprising character revelations seamless and credible. And Barney's episode on "The Price is Right" is endlessly watchable. Although there are some weaker episodes, most notably "Arrivederci, Fiero", the show continues to pull its punches quickly and without retreading old ground (see exhibit "Friends"). It's well-written, well-acted romantic comedy fun...with Barney.

The seventh season of this hit CBS sitcom about friendship and relationships follows up on the shocking revelation that Barney -- yes, Barney -- is getting married, exploring the how's, why's and (more importantly) who's of the equation.

In this popular sitcom told from the perspective of 25 years in the future, the story of how Ted (Josh Radnor) met the mother of his children is revealed. In this season's antics, viewers meet the woman who "stole" Barney's (Neil Patrick Harris) virginity; Lily (Alyson Hannigan) and Marshall (Jason Segel) go apartment hunting; Marshall has a career crisis; Ted and Barney come up with a ploy to pick up women; and more.

Beset by a perfect storm of personal and financial woes, desperate high school teacher Ray Drecker (Thomas Jane) attends a self-help seminar to discover a personal "winning tool" that he can market. He soon figures out the tool, and it's very personal indeed. With the help of an old flame and aspiring poet named Tanya (Jane Adams), Ray finds a new calling as a male escort servicing the Detroit area in this Golden Globe-nominated, offbeat HBO series.

Another entry in the new serial genre, this CBS drama revolves around a small town in Kansas that finds itself cut off from the rest of the world after a mushroom cloud appears on the horizon and a TV and radio blackout ensue. Has there been a terrorist attack or a pre-emptive nuclear strike? Faced with terrifying uncertainty, the town -- including the mayor's (Gerald McRaney) prodigal son (Skeet Ulrich) -- begins to come apart at its seams.
